Winter invites you to travel in two very different ways, either leaning into the season or leaving it behind entirely. You could swap grey skies for Southern Hemisphere sunshine in Australia, Chile, or New Zealand. Or, if you’re drawn to winter at its most atmospheric, there’s skiing in Canada and Italy, wildlife-rich journeys to Antarctica, and vibrant city breaks in Singapore during Lunar New Year.
’Tis the season to get away in December
December is a month of contrast. While winter settles across much of the Northern Hemisphere, summer takes hold further south in Australia, bringing long beach days and open road adventures. At the same time, snow transforms mountain landscapes into playgrounds for skiers and snowboarders in Canada.
If you’re wondering where to travel in December, this is a month when you can choose between sun-drenched coastlines, festive sailing conditions or crisp alpine air.
New year, new horizons in January
January is a month of contrast. Across much of Europe, days are short and temperatures low, yet elsewhere it’s peak season for sunshine, wildlife and once in a lifetime journeys. If you’re wondering where to travel in January, this is the time to think beyond the obvious. It’s high summer in Antarctica, dry season across parts of Southeast Asia like Thailand and Barbados in the Caribbean, and comfortably warm in the Arabian Gulf.
Winter your way in February
February is a month of variety. While winter continues across much of Europe, you can find late summer warmth in the Southern Hemisphere, thriving Costa Rican wildlife in Central America and the Caribbean, and Italian Alpine resorts in full swing. Whether you’re planning an active escape or picking out the best places to visit in February for warmth and atmosphere, these seasonal contrasts make it a wonderful month to travel.

Opening in spring 2026, AMOH, A Luxury Collection Resort, Rhodes is set on a private peninsula near Lindos, with wide views across the Mediterranean and direct access to two sandy coves. It’s designed as a place to slow down and spend time well, whether that’s with family, a partner, or simply switching off for a few days. The focus is on space, privacy, and a strong sense of place, rather than overcomplicating the experience.
Spain in summer often means busy resorts, packed city centres, and temperatures that can make even short walks feel like hard work. Visiting in spring or autumn changes the pace completely. Days are still warm and bright, but without the intensity, which makes it far easier to enjoy everything from sightseeing to long, relaxed meals outdoors. You will also notice fewer queues at major attractions, more availability at popular hotels, and a general sense that you can take your time rather than plan everything around the crowds.
Nassau & Paradise Island are often associated with their beaches, but there’s much more to the destination than a typical sun holiday. It combines history, food, activities, and events in a way that makes it easy to build a varied itinerary. In 2026, there are even more reasons to visit, including the Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival at Baha Mar from 21st to 25th October.
